Query SFHA

Hello,

 

One query that If I install SFHA 5.1 . then the VVR will be of same version or it can be other.

Can VVR  be of different version than VCS and Vxvm ?

 

Or they are all one package and So  they all can be only one version .

 

Pleae advice  and explain thoroughlt for  my understanding.

    Marianne is correct, VVR is part of the VRTSVxvm version so the version of VxVM and and VVR are one in the same.  VCS is a separate package in the SFHA product, so will normally be the same version, but it can be different - see extract from VCS 5.1 release notes

     

    Supported software
    VCS supports the following volume managers and files systems:
    ■ Veritas Storage Foundation (SF): Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) with Veritas File System (VxFS)
     
    VCS 5.1 supports the following versions of SF:
    ■ SF 5.0 MP3
       ■ VxVM 5.0 with VxFS 5.0
       ■ VxVM 5.0 MP1 with VxFS 5.0 MP1 (Solaris SPARC only)
       ■ VxVM 5.0 MP3 with VxFS 5.0 MP3
     
    ■ SF 5.1
       ■VxVM 5.1 with VxFS 5.1
     
    Note: VCS supports the previous version of SF and the next version of SF to
    facilitate product upgrades.

    I was dealing with VVR issue and I needed to check VVR version to get support.

    Just check your VxVM version.

    No, it is not possible.

    There is no separate VVM package. VVR binaries are included in VxVM packages and is enabled with license key.

    Why are you asking?

    Is it possible that VVR version can be different from VXVM  ?

    SFHA 5.1 includes all VxVM, VxFS, VCS and VVR binaries.

    Therefore all versions will be the same.
